Parks & Recreation
Spruce Cliff includes a large portion of the Bow River and its southern bank, which is located north of the community. This is the replacement essentially for the lack of green space within the community itself, which is understandable because the community is so small. The community is largely made up of seniors, to the extent that the seniors of the community created the Bow Cliff Senior centre which provides them a space to enjoy their favorite activities directly within the community.
